Drugs slow diabetes patients' kidney damage.(Brief Article)
Two drugs prescribed for high blood pressure show signs of forestalling kidney damage in people with type 2, or adult-onset, diabetes, according to three new studies. The findings, reported in the Sept. 20 NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE, could give physicians a new way to block this dangerous complication.
High blood pressure can lead to kidney problems, particularly in people with diabetes.

Some blood pressure medications offset angiotensin's effects in much of the body, but they aren't as effective in the kidneys.
